d[["foo"]] <- "bar"
d[[1]]

# [[ ]] gives an error for unknown keys
d[["?"]]
Under the hood, separate C++ dictionaries (unordered_map) are created for the different types of keys. Using R's flexible types that are reflected in Rcpp (as SEXP), such a dictionary can store both numbers and strings (and other objects) at the same time.
The package is available on GitHub: https://github.com/mkuhn/dict

Can you try again with the newest version from GitHub? If it still doesn't work, can you please check your gcc compiler version (not sure how to do that on Windows)?
I had the same problems installing (the ... in the above post hides dozens of C++ errors), with gcc-4.6.3, which is the latest version in Windows Rtools. The new Rtools for R 3.3.0 will include 4.9.3 if that makes a difference?
From what I've read, gcc 4.6 doesn't have good C++11 support. So having 4.9 in the new Rtools version should make a difference.
I don't see any man page or help pages. Can you please provide these? For example, I'm not sure what your intended use of d[[c(2,3)]] is. If that's "hello," then what is d[[2]] ?
(There's a reason CRAN rejects packages not fully documented :-) )
Eventually, yes. Not being able to do it via roxygen is holding me back, though.
(Sure, and there's a reason I'm posting this on GitHub. ;-) )
